Well, here's a beginning, at least ...

I've got a few ... these are new ones, just recent, and since everyone is posting Autumn pictures, I reckon I can show some of our colours, too. One forgets, you know, that our friends in the Tropics do not have such spectacular displays as we do, in fact, they really don't have much in the way of seasons at all. So they don't have snow, either ... and I think that the snow, or more precisely, its weight, is quite possibly the main reason for the trees' hurry to get rid of their leaves before the snow comes. Anyone who has seen an early snowstorm weight down leafy treelimbs and break them off will understand what I mean. I've chopped up enough broken limbs to really appreciate that. Although my Brasileira assures me that Brasil has snow, it is in the high Andes on the West of her country ... above the treeline. It doesn't count if you can't just look out your window and see it falling.
And now I'm talking about snow, when I meant to talk about leaves. Well, not exactly ... I meant to show pictures of our Autumn Colorfest. So, here they are ...
One of the ways we know the colour is coming is that our friends, the birds, get together to talk over the coming journey. And we begin to see big orange moonrises:
Things begin to take on a general Autumn colouring:
And the fields start to look rather more than ripe.
And we see michaelmas daisies along the verges ...
And squashes appear in the markets ...
Then we notice these little chaps running about with full cheek pouches ...
... storing up food for the cold times ahead. And the weather begins to change ...
Some trees, perhaps more sensitive than others, begin to change ...
The hills seem to catch fire in the red afternoon sun ...
The white paper birches dressed in gold ...
The maples, in barbaric red gold, like the Ring of the Niebelungen ...
And it is definitely time for a trip through the park!
OK, OK ... so I can't resist sumac.
I reckon I'd better quit, now ... for one thing, folks are yelling at me to prepare supper (one of those squashes will serve admirably), and also, I suspect this server is going to try to kill me if I give it any more work ...
Cheers, all.
